WHO GOT THE REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER HIRED AT THE MEDFORD HOUSING AUTHORITY?

Talk about CHILD ENDANGERMENTRemember when a SEX OFFENDER reportedly / allegedly had the keys to EVERY APARTMENT when the Housing Authority scandal under E.D. Bob Covelle was in the news?Who vouched for the sex offender?You've heard the allegations against Mark Smith* (see below) and Jenna Tarabelsi in the school system, Superintendent, haven't you?

Then you add the sex offender at the Housing Authority and you see how unsafe citizens in this city are under two Administrations that make fictitious gangster Tony Soprano look like a novice! At least the fictitious thug had a heart and a conscience._________________________________Rumor is that an elected official allegedly pushed the sex offender on the unsuspecting public.When you add this to the Varsity Coach allegations, and you put two and two together, you will find a link between the Varsity Coach allegations and the sex offender at the housing authority._______________________________You do the math...what kind of family man pitches himself off of the Mystic Tobin Bridge on Valentine's Day?Or did he get the Vladmir Putin Specialto shut him up???

Mass. teachers who lied about credentials, crimes still taught

Comprehensive background checks still not being done

"It's very troubling," said Mitchell Chester, commissioner of the Massachusetts department of elementary and secondary education. "We have zero tolerance for that kind of behavior and we're very aggressive in going after those individuals," said Chester.

Former Medford High School teacher Mark Smith lost his teaching license last year after allegations surfaced he sexually abused a former female student.

Records show Smith also lied on his renewal application in 1999 claiming he was never convicted of any crimes, even though he pleaded guilty to assault and battery in 1983.

"We'd like to ask you some questions about your teaching license?" asked Curran.

"No, thank you," said Smith.

"You were convicted of assault and battery but then on your license you lied," asked Curran.

Smith declined comment.

David Copice also lost his license to teach after pleading guilty to lying about his credentials when he applied for assistant principal jobs at high schools in Hanover and Middleborough.
